I’m Sore

If you look at my very revealing picture to the right…you probably aren’t thinking…man, that guy is sexy! Well that picture was taken around Christmas time in ’07 and I tipped the scales at 245 lbs. With Some inspiration from NBC’s The Biggest Loser show, watching American Gladiators, and secretly wishing I had the fierceness of Batista from WWE…I began working out and exercising regularly since January. I am now down to 213 lbs. as of Tuesday and my clothes are starting to fall off me. Maybe I’ll change that picture to a much leaner version of me…maybe I’ll keep it up for a while to motivate me even more…In the meantime, I am very sore from my new workout routines I’ve started upon joining a gym here in town instead of using the cheesy equipment our apartment complex has.

To Shave Or Not To Shave

One thing I lack when I am sick is the desire to shave, or comb my hair. For the last two weeks now, I have been getting over and re-catching the cold. Hopefully now, it will stay gone. I noticed this evening in the mirror that I’m looking a little rough! I guess it’s time to dust off the old Norelco and make my face as smooth as a baby’s ….ummm, anyways. I remember a time in my childhood when I envied my dad and older brother because they got to shave! I wanted ever so badly to be as cool as them. I was exctatic when I finally was able to shave. I hate it now! Why can’t people go around with long beards like in Bible days? How come that fashion trend was lost? Now I must shave to keep an “image” of a civilized human being. After all, who wants a minister with a scruffy face? Did Jesus have a beard? I should shave my whole body…I heard that itches after a few days though so maybe not! I’d like to say “Thanks A Lot” to the person who invented the razor…you really did mankind a lot of good!

I Hate Being Sick

As the title implies…I caught a nasty cold over the weekend and it landed me in bed from Friday to Sunday morning. I should have had someone cover for me in worship on Sunday and stayed in bed, but my stubborn self pushed it (it’s no fun breaking fevers in the middle of leading worship) I am looking forward to blogging about the accuracy, inerrancy, preservation of the Bible and how it relates to defending doctrines like the Holy Trinity, Salvation, and others. Anybody have any “old home remedies” for soar throats and coughing? I’M NOT GOING TO GARGLE SALT WATER!!!
